Need Help With New GLV2

[flavor911]

Got my new GLV2 two days ago. Absolutely an awesome device. Loving every minute. Problem is last night it quit firing.

I am using these batteries - https://www.lighthound.com/AW-RCR123a-Protected-750-mAh-Battery_p_114.html

Using this charger - https://www.lighthound.com/Ultrafir...3-37-volt-Lithium-Battery-Charger_p_2279.html

I've tried all three sets of batteries that I have. All show green on the charger. When I first put the batteries in I get about 1/2 of a hit and then nothing. I sent a note via GLV support on the site. Just wanted to see if anyone on here had any suggestions. I really hate losing this device for any length of time. Was about the best two days of vaping I've had since I started.

Thanks

try readjusting the atomizer-pin a bit upward.
Hope it helps...

No luck with that. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

very unlikely but take a look into the unscrewed head-cap. The battery-contact should be clean, in the center and in front of cable & resistor.

are you using an adaptor on the head cap?
sometimes if the adaptor is screwed in too tight it seems to stop current flow.

Try taking off the headcap and look underneath....you'll see the resistor....take a q-tip and move it around ever so slightly....then try it again....It might be shorting....same thing happened to me and Jay told me to do this and it was working perfectly after that. Just move it a little and try to vape...Let me know if it works.

 

[flavor911]

Thanks for all the suggestions guys. Tried each one. Still not working. Quite odd. I'll wait to hear from Jay. Going to check these batteries with a multi meter just to be sure it's not them but with 3 sets all not working I doubt it.

Also make sure there's a good connection between the spring in the end cap and the bottom of the battery. Sometimes the battery "wrap" can prevent full contact.

Just a thought.

Did you adjust the set screw under the headcap?

 

[keyzygirl]

Could it be the charger?Thats what I would think.

Did you adjust the set screw under the headcap?

Yes I adjusted the screw up and down. Tried all different positions still no good. Just checked the batteries with a meter and they are all around 3.2 - 3.5V So definitely charged. Very strange that if I change out the batteries and hit the trigger I get about half a hit on it and then it stops. I looked under the end cap and moved the resistor a bit but still doesn't solve it.

 

[keyzygirl]

Maybe stretch the spring out a bit?for better contact?

Take a pic of the resistor and post it up.....I'd like to see it if you can

 

[flavor911]

Looking at the head cap a bit closer I can see that the resistor has a black tinge to it and appears the coating is broken where the wires come out and that wrap underneath it. I'll wait for Jay to get with me. I'm sure they will take care of it.

I'll give it a try right now

 

[flavor911]

Tell ya what. It doesn't look this bad just looking at it but when up close like this it's a pretty big mess. You can see the breaks in the coating and the black marks. Something definitely went on there unless yours looks like this too?

 

[strprswpr]

Is all that black mess noalox?

 

[strprswpr]

Looks like your battery post is dirty too. Try cleaning that off.

 

[flavor911]

I haven't put noalox on there and doesn't look like they did before shipping so not sure what the black stuff is on the resistor.

I'd get some q-tips with a little alcohol and clean all that crap outs there. Clean the whole thing top to bottom....Don't soak anything. Clean off that battery terminal and give it another shot. Wipe the threads on the body....everything.
